Ingredients

  • 3-1/2 cups Flour
  • 2 teaspoons Baking Soda
  • 1/2 teaspoons Baking Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Cloves
  • 1 teaspoon Ginger
  • 1 teaspoon Nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
  • 2 cups Sugar
  • 1 cup Brown Sugar
  • 1 cup Butter, Melted
  • 4 whole Eggs
  • 1 Tablespoon Vanilla
  • 1 whole Butternut Squash, Roasted
  • 1/2 cups Milk
  • 1/2 cups Water

Method

  • Despite the number of ingredients this bread is super easy to make.
  • First mix up the dry ingredients in a bowl.
  • In a larger bowl mix together the sugars and melted butter. Mix in each egg one at a time, followed by the vanilla.
  • Stir in the 2 cups of mashed butternut squash.
  • Stir in dry ingredients slowly until fully incorporated. Add milk and water as needed to moisten the bread dough - I usually need them.
  • Bake at 375° in loaf pan or muffin tin whichever is your preference. My husband prefers the loaf pan.
  • Makes 2 loaves
  • ** For the Butternut Squash
  • Take a whole butternut squash and divide it in 2. Scrape out the seeds.
  • Put butter, brown sugar (or white sugar) in the cavities and on the squash. Roast at 450° until soft. Scrape out the soft squash from the skin and allow to cool. I usually end up with 2 cups of squash; I buy a large squash for this recipe
